Stand Beside Me
Performed By: Jo Dee Messina
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-HwJctTzlU
He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder
He said he had to find himself out on the road
I guess when love goes wrong
You've gotta learn to be strong
So I worked two jobs And I moved three times
I ended up south of Memphis, workin' down in Riverside
I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing I'm sure of
I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true, don't tell lies to me
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man that who stands beside me
I didn't expect to see him, one hot July morning
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He said, "I've missed you for so long. Oh baby, what can I do?"
I said, "I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart."
It's hard to Tell him, "No" when I want him so bad
But I've got to be true to my heart This time
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man who stands beside me
I want a man Who stands beside me
Stand beside me........ Stand beside me........
Okay...I'm feeling much better this evening than compared with yesterday. Work was long but it was an excellent distraction today. Plus someone gave me some extra attention at work today - that I just happened to enjoy very much. Plus I got a little attention from my T-pain song friend. That's a future post though... :-)
I do want to find someone that stands beside me. I want to share that special feeling and share a life together with someone. I think we can all relate to that! :-)

In God's Hands
In God's Hands
Nelly Furtado & Keith Urban
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu0vMd-bnsQ
I looked at your face
I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time I,
I saw that you couldn’t care less about what you do
You couldn’t care less about the lies
You couldn’t find the time to cry
We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us
And now our loves floating out the window
Our loves floating out the back door
Our loves floating up in the sky
In heaven where it began
Back in God’s hands
You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said baby it’s the end of the day
We gave a lot But it wasn’t enough
We got so tired Like we just gave up
Now our loves floating out the window
Our loves floating out the back door
Our loves floating up in the sky In heaven where it began
Back in God’s hands
Back in God’s hands
We didn’t respect it
We went on neglected
We didn’t deserve it
But I never expected this
Our loves floated out the window
Our loves floated out the back door
Our loves floated up in the sky
To heaven it’s part of the plan
It’s back in god’s hands
Back in god’s hands
Oh, It didn’t last It’s a thing of the past
No, I didn’t understand Oh, Just what we had
Oh, I want it back Just what we had I want it back Oh, just what we had
You know life can be kind of funny...just when you think all is going great and you could totally be on cloud nine... well oops then you fall off that cloud and it knocks the breath out of you - Hard! Well that was sort of me today. I've been having a Lot of fun recently! Meeting a lot of new people and just having a lot of fun goofing around at work. Well I got the wind knocked out of me this evening. :/ I was on the phone with my Mom when she says "You'll never guess who asked me about you." I had no clue. When she said the name I don't know what happened - it was a wave of emotions/memories that were so repressed that all fell out at once. My poor Mom had no clue what was going on. Not today or even way back then and to be honest the same could be said of myself. I was just as confused today as I was way back then. She thought my phone had cut out on her. She was like are you there? I was in a series of flashbacks of memories with a certain someone....
A certain someone that was my world. Did this person know how much i cared? Ummm looking back probably so. Maybe they sort of had the same feelings towards me. I was so infatuated back then i probably wouldn't have cared if they had or not. This was right around the time I graduated high school - I remember them and the fun we had goofing off, acting like complete idiots, and the talks that would go on forever and day. Why did it end? That's a very good question. Maybe they actually did care. Maybe that scared them like it did me at the time. Maybe they were afraid of what other's would say. Maybe that's what made them totally just up and leave and pretty much cease all existence in my life. No phone calls - no emails - no post cards. Nada -nothing! Well they had a few reasons to leave that i know besides me... but I'll never understand why everything completely stopped.
Well as my Mom continues to tell me about running into them she tells about their wife and kids and some more yada yada. I was touched that they still remembered me. They asked about me. They wanted to know where i was and what i was doing. Do I expect to hear from them anytime soon? Umm i don't think I'm gonna hold my breath. Oh wait... I'm sure they want some free tickets so maybe so. ;-)
I have rambled so much on this I know. Am I over this person? - Yes without a doubt but it was still just so weird after it had been pushed way back into the memory bank to totally come rushing up again... I think I need to go get some happiness back....
There's a certain T-Pain song that I'm starting to really love. Maybe i should go and try and see if that will make my evening any better.

Change It
Change It
Written & Performed By Dolly Parton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q97cGo5sCDo
Hello…I know you’ve got a world of problems.
And you think you can’t do anything to solve ‘em;
But I am here to tell you you can.
Somethin’ got you down, got you chained and bound
Well break it. (Face it)
If you’ve built a wall and know it needs to fall,
Then shake it. (Replace it)
Somethin’ that you know is dammin’ up the flow,
Tear the damn dam down.
Let me explain it.
If you don’t take the reigns, it’s going to stay the same
Nothin’s gonna change if you don’t change it.
Let’s do this!
Don’t let fear and doubt leave you empty and without.
You got somethin’ on your mind that’s naggin’ all the time,
Well nix it. (Resist it)
Somethin’ in your life that just ain’t sittin’ right,
Well -fix it. (Just kick it)
If you’ve lost your place somethin’ in your face
If there’s an empty space and you can’t name it.
That feelin’ in your gut that’s got you in a rut,
You’re made of better stuff and you can change it.
Change it,
You don’t want your little light to never shine.
Change it,
Turn it up on bright and get your goals in line.
There’s a great new world out there
For those who dare to claim it.
A better day is on the way and only you can change it.
Cha-cha-change, cha-cha-change, change it!
No dream you can’t accomplish, no mountain you can’t climb.
So activate your love and faith, you can change.
Stand up, grab a’hold, give everything you’ve got.
When the road is dark and cold, walk on fearing not.
Get your life in order, clean house and rearrange it.
Raise your voice and make a choice
Committed now to tear the damn dam down
And change it.
Change it.
Oh wow!! To me if this song doesn't inspire you to change it - then I don't know what will!! :-) Maybe it's because I'm a little partial to the words of wisdom from Miss Dolly.
She seems to hit the nail on the head a lot in this wonderful song!
We can complain and gripe all day; but until we do something about whatever is bothering us - it is NOT going to change. Granted not everything is going to be easy but with a little love, determination, and perseverance we can overcome a lot of things that do bother us.
Don't sit back and let others run over you or your dreams. Unless you get up and start doing something about it - nothing is going to change!
So get up and change it!!

I'm Movin On
I'm Movin On
Performed By The Rascal Flatts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1bxlDAjGCo
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
At last I can see that life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarentees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in every one's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
Moving on.... it is so much easier said than done. I have loved this song for quite sometime but could think of no better time than to use it now. I feel like I am moving on in so so many ways. I am actually learning to be at peace with me. I am content with that.
Let's take parts of this song... I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong.
I love my hometown. It is forever dear to me but I sadly had to bid it goodbye. It wasn't where I needed to be right now. To me this was a major decision. I am very close to my family. To be able to do things that I want to do and be the person that I want to be I had to leave. I really didn't have another choice.
On other notes of moving on... well I hope some forgiveness does find me down this road too.
As I sit and reflect on a few certain things. I have moved on. How do you know what you are supposed to do after that point?? I guess that advice would maybe be given by someone else. lol

Run
Run
As Performed By Leona Lewis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0rjfGvwMdE
Run - oh my that's what I feel like I am doing sometimes.
Life is filled with choices. I'm choosing to run and follow some new dreams.
It's not always an easy thing to do that.
Hopefully I am making the right decisions.
As Performed By Leona Lewis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0rjfGvwMdE
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even even (if you cannot hear my voice)
I'll be right beside you dear (yes oh dear)
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Run - oh my that's what I feel like I am doing sometimes.
Life is filled with choices. I'm choosing to run and follow some new dreams.
It's not always an easy thing to do that.
Hopefully I am making the right decisions.

Johnny And June
Johnny And June
By: Heidi Newfield
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6-4irHfExI
Oh there's something 'bout a man in black,
Makes me want to buy a cadillac,
Throw the top back,
And roll down to Jackson town,
I wanna be there on the stage with you,
You and I could be the next rage to,
Hear the crowd roar,
Make 'em want more
Kick the footlights out
I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June
I wanna hold you baby right or wrong,
Build a world around a country song,
Pray a sweet prayer,
Follow you there,
Down in history,
I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June
Like Johnny and June,
More than life itself,
No-one else,
This endless promise,
They don't make love like that anymore,
Is that too much to be askin' for,
I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June,
Like Johnny and June
And when we're gone,
There'll be no tears to cry,
Only memories of our lives,
They'll remember, remember,
A love like that.
Okay...I sort of just discovered this song this weekend... I think I'd heard it or part of it before, but really hadn't payed any attention to it until... I heard Heidi singing this at the Country Music Festival Sunday night. Something about hearing something like 40,000 people singing along with this song just touched me...
I want a love like Johnny and June too. I think I'm really ready for that in my life. I know I have had my heart broken a few times; but I want someone to love. I know I'm probably being a little unrealistic but I want to find my prince charming. I want to find someone that I can love and share a life with. I want us to build a life together. This song just says it so perfect. Like it says... they don't make love like that anymore... Is it to much to ask for?? I want someone that it can be forever with. Call me a crazy dreamer...but I'm hopeful.

Somewhere Down The Road
Somewhere Down The Road
Performed By: Faith Hill
So much pain and no good reason why
You cried until the tears run dry
Nothing else can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hand
And you say
Why, why, why
Does it go this way
And why, why, why
And all I can say is
Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will have the answers
At the end of the road
Yesterday I thought I'd seen it all
I thought I'd climbed the highest wall
But now I see that learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
'Round the bend
Singing
Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say is
Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers
At the end of the road
Somewhere, somewhere down
And somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
They will have the answers
At the end of the road
They will have the answers
At the end of the road
Somewhere down the road, yeah
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere down the road
Why, why, why
There will be arms reaching, down the road
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
Life is weird... maybe that's just me but to me it is. Sometimes things just have ways of working themselves out... God is in control - that is for sure. It's just truly amazing how he works sometimes. Sometimes when you think all hope is lost - something magical truly happens. Sometimes things that we think are going to happen wind up not - yet then we realize later it was truly for our good. I am just trying to appreciate that and let that all sink in at the moment.

There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
They will have the answers
At the end of the road
They will have the answers
At the end of the road
Somewhere down the road, yeah
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere down the road
Why, why, why
There will be arms reaching, down the road
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
Life is weird... maybe that's just me but to me it is. Sometimes things just have ways of working themselves out... God is in control - that is for sure. It's just truly amazing how he works sometimes. Sometimes when you think all hope is lost - something magical truly happens. Sometimes things that we think are going to happen wind up not - yet then we realize later it was truly for our good. I am just trying to appreciate that and let that all sink in at the moment.

Pray For You
Pray For You
Performed By: Sara Evans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA91acYO3S4
Sometimes I wish I could run home to mama's lovin' arms
In the springtime, when the weather's fine
Sittin' with her on the porch, glass of tea and nothin' more
Than her smile, for just a little while
And when I don't know where to go
I think of home and how you use to sing to me, she sang
---Chorus---
Que sera, sera, life goes on
Whatever's meant to be will always be
And baby what don't kill you, will make you strong
Just love the journey that your on
In all you do, I'll pray for you
Wild horses and fairy tales sometimes turn into somethin' else
That you never saw comin' at you at all
So I guess I'm callin' just because he wasnt who I thought he was
And I can't believe he stopped lovin' me
So, when I'm feelin' all alone
I think of home and how you used to sing to me
---Repeat Chorus---
I got babies of my own
And I'm the one that they're countin' on to be here
For every little tear, and I'll sing
---Repeat Chorus---
Just love the journey that your on...oh I think that is so true. Life is such an interesting journey. Just when you think you have things figured out it seems life will throw you a curve ball. I guess that keeps it interesting though. I think this is a great little song. I am guilty of saying whatever's meant to be meant to be will be a lot. I try to tell myself that a lot when I'm down. It takes tough times to make us stronger. I have a glimmer of hope at this moment in my life that I am so excited about it. I hope to goodness the deal works out!!!! If not I guess I'll have to quote this song again. :-) So just love the journey that your on...

It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
Written & Performed By: Shania Twain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt_1CyxMVh0
Hope life's been good to you since you've been gone
I'm doin' fine now--I've finally moved on
It's not so bad--I'm not that sad
I'm not surprised just how well I survived
I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive
I can't complain--I'm free again
Chorus -
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night
There's no need to worry, I'm really all right
I've never looked back--as a matter of fact
Repeat Chorus
It only hurts when I breathe
No, I've never looked back-- as a matter fact
Repeat Chorus
As I sit here on this dark and rainy evening I'm feeling so so very torn.
I don't want to talk too much and jinx stuff; but I'm having to make some important decisions.
Decisions that once made can not be easily undone.
I'm tired of having a double life... I'm currently so very torn between the two and that's how I'm hurting this evening. There's things about both I love and hold dear. Yet there is also things about each that I'm not so thrilled about. Yet which ever way I decide to go - to gain something I am also going to have to give up something. Decisions - decisions - something I can sometimes have a lot of trouble with. :-/
I guess we'll have to wait and see how this one turns out....

Fallen
Fallen
By: Sarah McLachlan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMuEw-9t9Xs
Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.
I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...[2X]
It's the bitter taste of losing everything that I've held so dear.... -
That's my favorite line of this song.
I do feel I have lost a lot of things I've held dear recently.
I just wishing saying sorry would fix things, yet I don't know if I'm going to get that chance.
Life can be so frustrating sometimes. I can't seem to explain it all.
I guess I've truly just fallen. :/

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
I have been fascinated with rainbows for as long as I can remember...they have always been something special to me. I feel captivated by there beauty and amazed each time I see one. I have tons of pictures of rainbows... I even took this one of a double rainbow. Is it the rainbow part that pulls me into this truly magical song - one that probably everyone knows.... that I do not know... but I do know I have always loved this song.
I've sort of been a little sad today... and got lost in this song while playing it on my keyboard. I do dream of a land where my dreams really will come true. I won't make such stupid mistakes and everyone will be happy. It all seems so simple - maybe one day those little blue birds will take me there....
See who all makes the list... - and let me know some of your favorite versions too if you can...

I Dreamed A Dream
I Dreamed A Dream - From Les Miserables
Performed by: Susan Boyle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
Wow - I didn't know what someone was talking about today when they asked me if I had heard this lady sing this song. I thought it was some joke but agreed to watch the video! Oh my word - I can not describe how shocked I was! It was so touching - to think this lady still hasn't given up on her dream and she's 47! It was definitely inspiring and i needed that today for sure - (not the best of days.... i had someone call and wake me up bright and early and it was NOT a pleasant conversation...)
Life can sometimes seem to take away our dreams; sometimes things seem totally impossible.
We must not give up though! Hope this gives us all a little hope today! :-)

Lies
Lies
Performed By: Martina McBride
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez8TIeHryAw
Lemons are sweet as honey
Usually life is fair
Purple's a shade of money
And Jesus doesn't care
Hummingbirds don't fly backwards
Lovers don't say goodbye
Saturn has 7 rings
And I have never told a lie
Chorus:
I don't walk these halls
And I don't climb these walls every night
And I don't cry
And even though I'm waiting by the phone
I don't want you to call
I don't miss you at all
Lies
I'm finally moving forward
Getting on with my life
I never dream of you and me
It's strange I don't know why
I'm really not that lonely
You never cross my mind
And when I hear your name
It doesn't cut me like a knife
Chorus
This is how I keep my sanity
This is what I need you to believe
Chorus
Lies All lies
Another post about lies - oh my! I guess my conscience must really be weighing a little heavy these days... I feel sometimes I make some of the stupidest mistakes. I don't know how I get myself into some of the craziest situations. I just hope I haven't made a big mess with some ignorant choices I've made recently. I certainly don't want to lose anyone I hold dear. :( This is a song off Martina's new CD. It took me by surprise the first time I listened to it. I think it is a very well written song. It may not match exactly what I'm writing about; but I still think it is a very good song.

Livin' A Lie
Written & Performed By: Dolly Parton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX2YjhhOuOY
Spotlight's on, it's shining bright
And I like standin' in it
It's only superficial light
But I don't want to end it
It's warmth and glow has taken hold
And I'm caught up in it's shine
A Cinderella fairy tale I want to claim as mine
Fancy clothes, a magic coach
And happy ever after
Like something from a story book
The Cinderella chapter
But when the clock strikes midnight
And I lie awake in bed
Things my Daddy told me
Keep running through my head
You gotta walk the straight and narrow
And to thine own self be true
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
All eyes are up on you
But sometimes it feels so good
That I can almost justify
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Is it wrong for me to want
The sweeter grass that's greener?
To chase the all-American dream I've always been a dreamer
At the top and still I've got
A heavy heart inside
I keep remembering Things my Daddy told me as a child
You gotta walk the striaght and narrow
Gotta hold fast to the right
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
Walk onward toward the light
Oh, but when I'm out there in it I think I might get by
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
But I don't feel right livin' a lie Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
All the fame and fortune Glory and prestige
Can't make me happy if it goes Against what I believe
And I've sacrificed my honor
My values and my pride
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie Livin' a lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, I don't feel right
One simple lie - it's amazing what it can do.
I feel like in someways this is what i've allowed my life to become in a couple of different ways.
One a lie I keep hidden about who I really am or what i really I am to some people.
Another one very similar.
It's eating away at me and I'm not liking it...
I don't feel like blabbing all my business here - just know that lies can hurt - yourself included.

The Lily Of The Valley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10MoY6xtUlA
I have found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
Refrain
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
Refrain
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessèd will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessèd face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
Refrain
Here's one of my favorite hymns. I thought it would go great with Easter.
The Lily of the Valley. I am thankful for God's love. I know I make mistakes; but I'm thankful that God still loves me and sent his son to die for me. This old world can be a little crazy sometimes; but if you put your faith in God - just think how wonderful heaven will be. Happy Easter everyone!

Trip Around The Sun
Trip Around The Sun
Performed By: Jimmy Buffett & Martina McBride
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaKqwvGa6Bw
Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I make
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun
Chorus:
I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go
No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun
(Chorus)
Yes, I'll make a resolution
That I'll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride ...
Until it's done
Life is such a precious gift. I don't think we realize just how precious sometimes.
Do we ever really stop to think about what part we play in the world around us?
I really like the whole idea of this song. As I sit here and reflect on myself getting older - it's good to know that there are some things that I just can not control. Sometimes life just happens along the way. We all experience happiness, sadness, loneliness, aggravation, anger, love, and oh so many more emotions. The good thing is even though some of those we might not like - it means we're living. Be grateful that you are alive. Use the bad to help you appreciate the good. (By the way this is a mental note to myself too.) So on that note -
Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come.

Sometimes life just happens along the way. We all experience happiness, sadness, loneliness, aggravation, anger, love, and oh so many more emotions. The good thing is even though some of those we might not like - it means we're living. Be grateful that you are alive. Use the bad to help you appreciate the good. (By the way this is a mental note to myself too.) So on that note -
Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come.

Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Performed By: Martina McBride
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVCub_1U6_k&feature=PlayList&p=5B76D421A74D77BE&index=33
My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Chorus:I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Repeat Chorus
I didn't have intentions to use another country song so soon- because I listen to a very wide range of music... yet I sort of couldn't help but use this one.
I am not in a relationship right now. Several months ago however - I had fell for someone pretty hard. It was such a wonderful feeling! I can't describe how happy i was during that time. The timing wasn't right and it sort of fell apart. I am so glad that I have been able to gain a really good friend from it though.
I think my ipod was on random when I caught this one.
Some may take it as sad but to me it made me really happy.
I look forward to sharing that wonderful feeling of being in love again.

It Gets Better
It Gets Better
By: Jo Dee Messina
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSVp04a0BKM
This old world can be cruel sometimes
When you're looking for answers
You can't seem to find
No one understands what you're going through
Oh I know it can get lonely out there
When you feel like nobody cares
Well you look around thinking
If they only knew
Well I do
Chorus: I've felt the chill of this world cut down to the bone
I've walked many a mile down this road on my own
I've been through hell on my knees
Come face to face with the devil
And I know that it's hard to believe
But it gets better
Time is a healer but we can't see how
When you're caught in the moment
And the hurting is now
We don't wanna see that maybe somethings
Weren't meant to figure out
Repeat chorus
This old world can be cruel sometimes
When you're looking for answers
Well just keep in mind
No you're not alone
We're all trying to find our way through this life
Repeat chorus (out)
I definitely am feeling pretty inspired today. I thought this song might show that. It's funny I was reading my sole little follower's blog last night (which is very good by the way! ) and thinking about life situations. When I awoke this morning I had this song in mind.
Life can be very tough. I definitely have had my share of lonely days. It does get better though. Not every day is bad. We all are just trying to figure out this crazy thing called life. I hope this song will give you some inspiration today as well. :-)

Travelin' Thru
Travelin' Thru
Written & Performed By: Dolly Parton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx_I-byng78
Well I can't tell you where I'm going,
I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit
Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on
Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me
God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly
Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru
Okay... i couldn't leave on such a depressing note as Sober.
I love the song but it can be very sad.
So I'm gonna try to make up for it with Travelin Thru by Ms. Dolly.
This song is great. I consider it inspirational.
Sometimes I can be so bogged down with what I feel is my crazy life.
I question my life and existence. I just want to know why God put me here.
Why do I have to deal with some of the crazy things that come my way?
God made us for a reason though and just like the song says - nothing is in vain.
The road can be very hard to travel sometimes.
Yet if you think about it - maybe that's to make us appreciate the good roads/good days all the better. If every day was all grand and wonderful then we would probably get a little bored and tired of that. Those bad and rough days are there to teach us and to help us grow.
Sometimes they even help us find our reason for being here on this big blue planet earth.
So sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you!

Sober
Sober
By: Kelly Clarkson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXzg2y6qmAM
And I don’t know
This could break my heart or save me
Nothing’s real
Until you let go completely
So here I go with all my thoughts I’ve been saving
So here I go with all my fears weighing on me
Three months and I’m still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers
But I know it’s never really over
And I don’t know
I could crash and burn but maybe
At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me
So I won’t worry about my timing, I want to get it right
No comparing, second guessing, no not this time
Three months and I’m still breathing
Been a long road since those hands I left my tears in but I know
It’s never really over, no
Wake up
Three months and I’m still standing here
Three months and I’m getting better yeah
Three months and I still am
Three months and it’s still harder now
Three months I’ve been living here without you now
Three months yeah
Three months I hurt
Three months and I’m still breathing
Three months and I still remember it
Three months and I wake up
Three months and I’m still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers
Okay i will warn you right away - go ahead and grab some tissues for this song.
This song breaks my heart for a few different reasons.
To me this song has nothing to do with alcohol. I actually don't think it does to Kelly either.
That's what's great about it - it can be whatever to whoever needs it.
So sorry Princess - your Prince might have actually been looking for a Prince Charming himself, a loved one passed away, a friendship you thought you would never lose - might have changed more than you could ever have imagined, or you might actually have a problem with the booze.
I've had a hard time letting go of a couple of things in the past few months.
Some of it still hurts. It's hard sometimes to just remove what you thought was the perfect picture from your head. Some of it i don't think I'm ready to blab out here.
I think everyone can relate though....

Ride
Ride
Performed By: Martina McBride
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3bKcuRw87E
Yeah ahh yeah
You wake up from your dream, and you don't want to face the day
and You can't find a reason to think your world will ever change
You can hide beneath the covers
Or you can run outside head up high and carry on
Chorus
Life is a roller coaster ride
Time Turns the Wheel and Love Collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky.
so Shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride...
It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground
it twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down
You can't see what's around the corner and You can't look back,
so just live it up and feel the rush
Life is a roller coaster ride
Time Turns the Wheel and Love Collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky.
so Shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride...
Ride, ride, ahh yeah, yeah oh yeah
Shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride
Ride, ride, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!
Yep! Another two post day! Yay for days off!! :-)
This song is a little more uptempo and uplifting to me though.
Although it sort of compliments Wheel Of The World (well at least to me).
This song is off Martina's new CD Shine that came out this week. She is such an amazing vocalist. I just couldn't resist when I saw that it was on sale. lol
As both songs are saying - Life is definitely a roller coaster/carnival ride!
We never know where it's going to take us.
I'm having faith that mine is got to get better.
Sometimes we do just have to hold on and enjoy the ride.
I admit I can be a little emotional and can shed some tears. I just need to be laughing instead!
Again we tell ourselves positive thoughts. :-) Ride!
As for me - I'm taking Martina's advice today! I'm off to go ride an actual roller coaster!! Then I get to see Kelly Clarkson!!! I'm sure it might be more Kelly songs for sure then so be ready! lol

Wheel Of The World
Wheel Of The World
Performed By: Carrie Underwood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbjLsmmT1VY
Love goes out, out like a light.
Out like a flame and you cant find it anymore.
Just when you think its lost in the rain,
it comes back knockin' at your door.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around. and around.
God put us here on this carnival ride.
We close our eyes, never knowing where it'll take us next.
Babies are born, and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath.
Its the wheel of the world.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
In the blink of an eye, it can change your life.
And it never even slows down.
Its the wheel of the world.
I dont know what it is,
Im flying high, but Im wondering why Im sinking on this ship going down.
Life keeps on moving anyway.
Its the wheel of the world.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around. and around. and around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
It can open your heart, it can break you apart.
And it never even slows down.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
Its the wheel of the world turning around. and around.
I love this song so much!! I heard Carrie singing on American Idol the other night and it reminded me of this gorgeous song of hers. It can be such a sad song to me. To me it has so so much truth in it. I love so many of the lyrics. I do feel like God put us here on this crazy carnival ride called life. In one little moment, one decision, our entire future can change. You might not think about it but it's so very true.
The lyric where babies are born and at the same time someone is taking their last breath. It's weird but I can think of this happening in my family - sometimes the opposite order. I mean not at the exact moment but literally days; it really does happen though.
Also the first few lines - so very true. Love goes out sometimes and even though no matter how hard we try, we just might not be able to respark it with someone. Okay I'm gonna try not to get all sappy and start crying. This song is just very touching for me. Look it up and listen! I'm sure you will like!

If No One Will Listen
If No One Will Listen
Performed By: Kelly Clarkson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwbSyuaoEGw
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there's enough you might drown
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
No one can take you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, "just stay here"
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
If you find your fists are raw and red
From beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
I have been enjoying Kelly Clarkson's new CD a lot. I have had a hard time picking a favorite from the CD. I think I'm going to write about two of the songs today.
The first is called "If No One Will Listen." I've sort of been dealing with this to a degree. I'm getting ready to make a lot of changes in my life or at least I'm wanting to try to do so. The sucky thing is I haven't really had anyone to discuss some of my thoughts and ideas with.
I'm a talker and I value other people's advice a lot. I'm just hoping I can get some good advice and make the right decisions. I just feel that I'm at a weird place in life right now. :-/
More on this in the next post...

If no one wants to look at you for what you really are
I will be here still
I have been enjoying Kelly Clarkson's new CD a lot. I have had a hard time picking a favorite from the CD. I think I'm going to write about two of the songs today.
The first is called "If No One Will Listen." I've sort of been dealing with this to a degree. I'm getting ready to make a lot of changes in my life or at least I'm wanting to try to do so. The sucky thing is I haven't really had anyone to discuss some of my thoughts and ideas with.
I'm a talker and I value other people's advice a lot. I'm just hoping I can get some good advice and make the right decisions. I just feel that I'm at a weird place in life right now. :-/
More on this in the next post...
Save You
Save You
Performed By: Kelly Clarkson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxnvo1gw6lI
I Can Tell
I Can Tell How much You hate This
Deep Down Inside You Know It's Killing Me
I Can Call, Wish You Well And Try To Change This
But Nothing I Can Say
Would Change Anything
Where Were My Senses
I Left Them All Behind
Why Did I Turn Away
Chorus:
I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I'm Not Going Nowhere
I Wish I Could Say To You
It's Gonna Be Alright
It's Gonna Be Alright
I Didn't Mean Didn't Mean To Leave You Stranded
Went Away Cause I Didn't Want To Face The Truth
Reaching Out Reach For Me Empty Handed
You Don't Know if I Care
You're Trying To Find The Proof
There Were Times I'd Wonder
Could I Have Eased Your Pain
Why Did I Turn Away
I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I'm Not Going Nowhere
I Wish I Could Say To You
It's Gonna Be Alright
It's Gonna Be Alright ( Alright )
It's Gonna Be Alright (Save You)
It's Gonna Be Alright ( I Wish I Could Save You )
We Can Pretend Nothings Changed
Pretend It's All The Same
And There Will Be No Pain Tonight...
It's Gonna Be Alright (It's Gonna be Alright)
I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I'm Not Going Nowhere (Save You)
I Wish I Could Say To You (Say To You)
It's Gonna Be Alright
It's Gonna Be Alright( Alright )
It's Gonna Be Alright (Save You)
It's Gonna Be Alright ( I Wish I Could Save You )
It's Gonna Be Alright...
This is the second song. This is what I guess I would like to be hearing. I want to hear that my life is going to be alright. I just don't like letting people down. I know you can't make everyone happy - but why do I feel the need to try so hard to do so?? I don't know. I know I should probably explain myself better. Maybe I will with another Kelly song later? lol :-)

Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Performed By: Deborah Cox
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTfpyUmbb24
In your life
Things may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside
[CHORUS]
Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep Can't you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe There's much more to life when you free
That's the key
And in time You will find all the answers
Don't have to loose your pride
Hold on to what's inside
[CHORUS]
Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door
She staring at him in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way
[CHORUS]
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
I think we all have moments of insecurity.
Sure we may think that some people don't but what do we really know about them...
Do we know what they do to make sure they look so nice, or appear so put together?
It's just that people show their insecurities in different ways.
I'm learning to accept mine.
Granted I may not be the best looking individual ever but I'm learning to really like/love myself.
As vain as it may sound - this song gives me that boost.
I am beautiful in my own way. I am special and I shouldn't let anyone try to bring me down no matter what ways they try.
Life is special. Enjoy it. You don't get to relive the past - no matter what.
So don't let anyone bring you down today. Beautiful we both are! :-)

Light Of A Clear Blue Morning
Light Of A Clear Blue Morning
Written & Performed By Dolly Parton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBP10FeI0E4
It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
'Cause I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong
'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
It's been a long long time Since I've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines That had me bound,
well I don't need 'em '
Cause I am strong and I can prove it
And I got my dreams to see me through
It's just a mountain, I can move it
And with faith enough there's nothing I can't do
And I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right It's gonna be okay
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
And everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
'Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Yes I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay I can see the light
I can see the light
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
I remember the first time I heard this song; a few years ago....
It still give me feelings of encouragement.
It gives me hope. It can restore my faith at times.
I know that times can look pretty bleak sometimes; but then it's such a wonderful feeling when things start looking up!
Dolly gives it her all and it truly is a magical song.
On a random note I read somewhere that she wrote this and I Will Always Love You on the same day. That surely was a magical day for her!!

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
A song I'm sure we all have probably heard before.
I attended a new church this past Sunday. It was the first time I had got to go to church in a long time. I get to missing the music when I'm away for awhile.
It was hearing this song the other day and hearing an additional verse they sang that made it even more special.
The extra verse:
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God my Savior
Has ransomed me.
And like a flood
His mercy reigns
Unending love - amazing grace.
I have been so touched by this extra verse. It gave me such strength and purpose. It sort of continues my thoughts from "What I Cannot Change." Those things are gone. I've been set free.

What I Cannot Change
"What I Cannot Change"
Performed by LeAnn Rimes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umjRT6m4eec
I know what makes me comfortable
I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God
I won't make the same mistakes
Oh the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
I don't know my Father
Or my Mother well enough
Seems like every time we talk
we can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world
than it is to please myself
Oh the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
Right now I can't care about how everyone else will feel
I have enough hurt of my own to heal
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change Whatever I, whenever I can
This song struck such a big chord with me. I will admit the first time I heard it I needed to sit down, then I had a little bit of a cry. After listening to it again I realized I had a new favorite - a little anthem for me. :) I've realized so much about so much recently.
I've really been trying to process this thing called life.
Life is truly what we make it.
Everyone has mistakes. Everyone has regrets. It's part of life.
It's learning from those mistakes. It's letting go of those things that we cannot change whatever they might be. It might be something you wish had done, something you wish you had not done, something about yourself, something about someone else, whatever it might be - there is so much we can not change.
We might not can change those things; but we do have things we CAN change.
It's learning to let it all go. It's realizing that no one is perfect - ourselves included.
It's finding that peace deep down inside - just knowing it is all going to be ok.
We do NOT have to let those things, the past, those mistakes, whatever it is hold us down.
I will change whatever, whenever I can.
Until next time...
